Synopsis:

These volumes collect most of the papers of Anatole Katok, one of the founders of the modern theory of dynamical systems. Katok's work reflects half a century of research in mathematics and includes ergodic theory, hyperbolic, elliptic, and parabolic smooth dynamics, as well as higher-rank actions. Katok's papers cover an extremely broad range of topics in dynamics, and they contain many seminal contributions that had great impact on later developments and are now widely recognized as classical. Katok also authored numerous historical and biographical papers, and these contain accounts of crucial developments from the point of view of one of the main protagonists. Besides papers which have already appeared in academic journals, this collection includes several previously unpublished papers as well as some whose English translation appears here for the first time. These collected works are organized by topic into six chapters, each featuring an introduction written by respective leading specialists. Volume I focuses on following topics: Hyperbolicity, Entropy, Geodesic Flows, Interval Exchange Transformations, Billiards, Twist Maps, Spectral Theory, Approximations, Combinatorial Constructions, and History of Dynamics. Volume II focuses on these topics: Cohomology and Geometric Rigidity, Measure Rigidity.

About the Author: Svetlana Katok is Professor of Mathematics at the Pennsylvania State University. Her research interests include analysis on Riemannian manifolds and symmetric spaces, hyperbolic geometry and Fuchsian groups, ergodic theory, symbolic dynamics, and application of dynamical systems to analysis and number theory. Bassam Fayad is a Research Director at the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche. His research interests include Hamiltonian dynamics, KAM theory, Liouville phenomena and constructions by periodic approximations, abstract and smooth ergodic theory, homogeneous dynamics and their applications to Diophantine approximations. He was an invited speaker at the ICM in 2018 in the Section on ODE's and Dynamical Systems. He is editor in the Tunisian Journal of Mathematics and in the Annales de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure. Giovanni Forni is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland. His research interests include Aubry-Mather theory, ergodic theory of smooth parabolic flows, Teichmüller dynamics and applications to Interval Exchange Transformations, Translation flows and Billiards in Polygons. He was an invited speaker at the ICM in 2002 in the Section on ODE's and Dynamical Systems. In 2008 he was the recipient of the first Michael Brin Prize in Dynamical Systems. He has been a Fellow of the AMS since 2012 (Inaugural Class). He is currently Editor in Chief of the Journal of Modern Dynamics and Chair of the Committee of the Michael Brin Prize in Dynamical Systems. Boris Hasselblatt obtained his doctorate at Caltech under the guidance of Anatole Katok. He is a professor of mathematics as well as former department chair and Associate Provost at Tufts University. His research centers on smooth, geometrically motivated, and topological dynamical systems with hyperbolic behavior. He has coauthored the books Introduction to the Modern Theory of Dynamical Systems, Dynamics: A first course | with a panorama of recent developments (both with Cambridge University Press) and Hyperbolic Flows (with the European Mathematical Society) and edited six other books. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and one of only two Americans to hold the Chaire Jean Morlet at CIRM in Marseille. His recent full-semester visiting professorships include the ETH Zürich and the University of Tokyo. He cofounded the Journal of Modern Dynamics, Electronic Research Announcements – Mathematical Sciences, and Mathematics Research Reports, and he serves as the eleventh Secretary of the American Mathematical Society. Mariusz Lemańczyk obtained his doctorate at Nicolaus Copernicus University (NCU) and his habilitation at Warsaw University. He is a professor of mathematics, a former dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of NCU and the present director of the Excellence Center "Dynamics, Mathematical Analysis and Artificial Intelligence". His research focuses on ergodic theory and its interactions with spectral theory and number theory. He authored and coauthored about 120 research articles, one monograph on the spectral theory from the ergodic theory point of view and coedited one book Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems in their Interactions with Arithmetics and Combinatorics (series Lecture Notes). He is a recipient of Banach prize and Kuratowski prize. He is the only Polish mathematician to hold the Chaire Jean Morlet at CIRM in Marseille. His recent visiting professor
